Locking this guy up for the rest of his life is a punishment and a deterent. This? This is sick and twisted.

When I was about eleven I used to volunteer at my local country park that had some pygmy marmosets. I got to feed them! Would go in to the wee habitat with their nutrient pate treat kind of thing that we warmed up in the microwave and they would hang off my shoulders spooning it out of my bowl with their wee hands and groom me. I loved them.
